“They do it just to let me know they’re there,” she says with a smile.

Now you can hear them too, in Loving’s new children’s book, VICTORIA’S SURPRISE, published by Crossbooks.

Written for her daughters, VICTORIA’S SURPRISE takes Loving’s readers under the covers of a scared little girl all alone in her bed at night. Victoria is frightened. A thunderstorm rages. She hides. Suddenly, reassuring fairies fly into her bedroom, harbingers of an angel sent by God to comfort her. Children love angels because they are helpers from God.

When children are afraid of the dark, it helps to tell them about their guardian angels. Let Victoria’s angel bring God’s love to your little ones. Vanquish nighttime fears with VICTORIA’S SURPRISE, released in November 2010 and is available from Crossbooks.
